THE BEAUTIFUL CHILD WITH THE BLUE HAIR
SAVES PINOCCHIO

The Beautiful Child with the Blue Hair came
again to the window. She saw poor Pinocchio on
the big tree and was very sorry for him. She said
to her dog:

“Be quick, Medoro, and go to the forest. Go to
the Big Tree and you will see a puppet on it. Bring
him here.”

The Child was at the door of the house when the
dog brought her the poor puppet. She took Pinocchio into a little room and put him on
the bed.

Then two doctors came: a Monkey and a Parrot.

“Is this poor puppet alive or dead?” asked the
Child.

“I think,” said the Monkey, “that the puppet is
dead; but if he is not dead, then he is alive.”

“I think,” said the Parrot, “that the puppet is
alive; but if he is not alive, he is dead!"

Then the doctors went away.
